I liked the worksheets you included. They gave me a complete idea of what I was going to be working with in regards to money, and especially my living expenses as a divorced woman as compared to now, where my husband pays most everything.

What About the Kids?
When you have children, there is more to consider than just who gets the house and how everything will be split. Divorce 101: A Woman's Guide will help prepare you for the various custody arrangements and visitation issues so you can decide how your children's lives will be handled, not some judge.
The included worksheets serve as a tool to help you draft a parenting plan that fits the needs of your children and your unique situation. Having this well thought-out parenting plan will help avoid future conflicts with your ex and make life easier on your kids.
"This is a must have..."
This book is a must have at the beginning of a divorce. Things don't always go well for women as we often aren't as knowledgeable about the law and what can happen in a divorce. There was a lot of information regarding the children, which was excellent.

Understand How Support Issues Work
It's common for a woman's standard of living to go down after a divorce, but you can take steps to make sure you receive the amount of support you and your children deserve. Lets face it, raising kids is expensive, and both parents should share the financial responsibility. Divorce 101 can help you understand what's important in determining both child support and alimony, as well as what your options are when the support payments aren't being made.
"A woman must fight for her future"
Women must take an active role in their divorces. Hire the best family/divorce lawyer you can afford, snoop into everything you can. If your husband is stalling the divorce process keep track and have your lawyer demand attorneys fees for the stonewalling. I did it and won my retainer back, $7,500. Most women's standard of living goes way down after a divorce whereas a man may suffer for a year or two. Therefore, a woman must fight for her future.

Won't My Lawyer Handle Everything?
Here’s the truth: Not every lawyer has the time or inclination to hold their client's hand through each step of the divorce process. In fact, most lawyers have many cases going at the same time and often use a legal assistant to do the majority of their work.
You are the one who is ultimately responsible for the decisions made in your divorce. By getting the information you need beforehand, you can understand what your options are, gain confidence, and do what is right for you and your children. Aren't you worth it?
"Wow, like having your very own lawyer in your living room."
Just open the book look for the answers. Don't try to read it all at once, but keep it as your bible to refer back to. Very good work.
